You always hear of stations like 98.1, 98.3, 98.5, 98.7, etc. How come you never hear of 98.2, 98.4, etc.?

I have just learned that some of the emails I'm sending out are coming up in other people's junk/spam mailboxes. Is there a way that I can adjust my settings to prevent this from happening?

In 2010, will people say "twenty ten" or "two thousand ten"? What about 2011 or 2012? Personally I think "twenty ten" or "twenty eleven" sound much nicer and easier to say than "two thousand ten" or "two thousand eleven". What annoys me is hearing all those furniture commercials that say "No interest until two thousand thirteen". Why don't they say "no interest until twenty thirteen"? It would be much easier to say, and it would get more people used to the idea of pronouncing those years like that.

What does everyone think?

I have an old bottle of Gordon's Deluxe Vodka that I bought about two years ago. It's been sitting on top of my fridge all this time. Do you think it would still be any good for me to mix in a drink?

I'm not talking about the best news in music or entertainment. I'm just talking about the top stories overall.

So many people are rushing to get married on 7/7/07. I'm sure a lot of couples are moving too fast in their relationships just to get married on this date. It's silliness.

So many people misuse apostrophes. Why do so many people think you're supposed to use an apostrophe with any noun that's in the plural form? I see it ALL the time, and it bugs me.

In elementary school we learned when an apostrophe is required. Why do so many people forget that?

Example: "I have two cat's" instead of the correct form: "I have two cats."

I can understand spinning the wheel and earning money for consonants when you know what they are, but why spend money on vowels when you already know what the answer is?

I've never been able to figure that one out.

I don't understand this phenomenon. Why do we see so many young people wearing shirts that have their name brands plastered all over the front (like Abercrombie, Hollister, etc.)?

First of all, those clothes are so ridiculously expensive.

Second of all, you'd think that the companies would want to PAY the young people for promoting their brands rather than charge outrageous prices.

Most people don't stop all the way. They just do a rolling stop. It's kind of annoying. STOP means STOP. Right?

I have this funny fascination with the idea of putting a clown in a serious place, such as church.

What kind of church was it? Were a lot of people there? Did the other congregants made wisecracks about the clown being there, or did they treat him like a normal person?

Did you like the show "Growing Pains"? I own Season 1 on DVD and wondered if they will be releasing Season 2 anytime soon. I've been watching all the episodes from the first season (1985-86), and they're really cute!

Does anyone else like that show or know if they will be releasing any of the other seasons on DVD?

When I say "hang out", I mean actually spend time with...have dinner or something like that.

Who was it, and what did you do together?

Briefs and boxer-briefs do not have a big hole in the front. Why do boxers? I'm a guy who usually wears briefs but today had boxers on.

When I was little (in the early to mid '80s), I remember going to places like Burger King and just being able to leave our tray at the table before leaving the restaurant.

Does anyone else remember that, or do you remember when it changed to having the customers bus their own trays?

Are they attractive, or what? Especially when the old ladies in the school cafeterias wear them... :-)

When I'm trying to sign into my Yahoo email today, it's not working. I'm typing my username and password correctly, but when I go into my mail, all I get is a white screen. Can someone please help?
